Sony Music Unlimited subscription can now stream music in high quality 320kpbs AAC audio. This is excellent for top quality audio production.

Using the service’s web, Android, Walkman and PS3 apps, Sony says you can now enable high fidelity playback. The entire catalogue offers the 320kpbs AAC option provided by Omnifone, the company that powers Sony’s music library.

If you don’t want to be stuck with tedious average audio, you’ll have to turn the 320kbps streaming option on in Music Unlimited’s settings menu.

Lets hope Apple offers this increase in quality. Google Music is at 320kpbs mp3 audio already.

eBay has just updated its legal agreement. Some of the key changes are –

Under the eBay Buyer Protection policy, if we resolve a dispute in the buyer’s favour, we may:

1. Remove funds from the seller’s PayPal account to reimburse the buyer for the cost of the item and the original postage cost in accordance with the seller’s authorisation provided to us under this User Agreement; or

2. Where there are insufficient funds in the seller’s PayPal account or where PayPal is not the reimbursement method of the seller, directly refund the buyer for the cost of the item and the original postage cost, and, in this case, the seller must reimburse us in full, and in a timely manner, for an amount equivalent to the sum we paid to the buyer.

Sellers must have a reimbursement method on file with eBay at all times. Sellers may change this reimbursement method by contacting eBay and searching for ‘How to change your reimbursement method’. Where the seller is found at fault, we will notify the seller and charge the method of reimbursement that the seller has on file.

When providing us with content or posting content on eBay’s sites, services, applications or tools, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise any and all copyright, publicity, trademarks, database rights and intellectual property rights you have in the content, in any media known now or in the future. In addition, you waive all moral rights you have in the content to the fullest extent permitted by law.

And the terms go on and on.

I must admit some of these seller terms and ebays fees do put me off using the service for selling items. Does it do the same for you ?

Okay, you already have a PC or Mac. You also got tempted and bought a tablet like a Nexus 7, Kindle Fire, iPad or iPad Mini. And you also have a smartphone.

Or you are thinking about one or the other. Stop. Before you think about buying something think about what you might want to achieve with each device and the respective screen size. Think about where you will use them and why.

Lets take an example. If you have had a 4 inch screen phone, buying a 7 inch tablet would offer a significant leap up in screen real estate and make life that little bit easier. However, if you had a phone with a 5-6 inch screen, you should skip the 7-8 inch tablet and look at something nearer 10 inches to really make a difference.

So as I an example, I use my iPhone to take photos or my DLSR camera. The photos on my iPhone appear automatically on my iPad. I import my DLSR camera shots into my iPad. I then use 3 photo apps to carry out full editing as required. To really undertake decent editing you need a big screen.

However, if you are going to lug the tablet around, maybe it’s portable size might be important. I can pocket any size tablet or phone up to 10 inches as I now wear clothing that can accommodate such gadgets.

Also think about the apps and services you need. The iPad rules on apps. End of. But if you need to connect USB drives or other USB accessories stick with an android tablet.

Or stick with a phablet and compromise with one device.
